i have looked at the use of bumps stops as a part of a suspension system before, including reading what herb adams put in his books. fact is that a bump stop is a very inconsistant way to control suspension movement. the idea behind using them was valid 25 years ago when shock technology wasn't there, but things have advanced a bit since then.
i have had the pleasure of bottoming out on bump stops of various compounds and even breaking shocks by bottoming them out. same result both ways, instant loss of grip.
btw, i am stating what i know and have seen work before in cars, nothing to do with your personal view of the situation.
